Distro Review: Mandriva One 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve enjoyed using Mandriva 2010 and one thing
| I wanted to see was how the different desktop
| editions compared. In the past I’ve always
| thought of Mandriva as a mostly KDE centric
| distro, rightly or wrongly, that’s been my
| impression. I can definitely say there’s no
| favouritism here, both versions are well
| thought out. There are little differences but
| you won’t be missing anything no matter which
| you choose.

| One week ago, Mandriva Cooker, which will
| lead to version 2010 Spring in about 6
| months was opened again. In 8 days, this
| has resulted in almost 1100 package
| updates.

Mandriva One 2010.0 (including Moblin UI)
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva 2010 includes the usual array of
| utilities, applications and packages.
| Firefox 3.5.5, OpenOffice 3.1.1, GIMP for
| grpahics, Amarok for audio and Dragon Player
| for video, and of course lots of KDE
| applications and applets. If a particular
| package that you want, need or prefer isn't
| installed, you can generally find it through
| "Install & Remove Software", as I did for
| things like Thunderbird.

|
| To summarize, Mandriva 2010 is, as expected,
| a worthy successor in their long line of
| distributions. It installs easily, it
| supports all of the hardware that I tried it
| on with ease, and it works well. Their
| Moblin desktop seems to work better than
| Moblin's own distribution, but that is
| rather thin praise. If you have been using
| Mandriva Linux previously, you are likely to
| be pleased with this one.

The Perfect Desktop - Mandriva One 2010.0 With GNOME
,----[ Quote ]
| This tutorial shows how you can set up a
| Mandriva One 2010.0 desktop (with the GNOME
| desktop environment) that is a full-fledged
| replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that
| has all the software that people need to do
| the things they do on their Windows
| desktops. The advantages are clear: you get
| a secure system without DRM restrictions
| that works even on old hardware, and the
| best thing is: all software comes free of
| charge.
